1 "My style is based around one word, that's pressure. We're going to oppose pressure to our opposing team for 40 minutes starting on the defensive end of the floor. That's where you win and compete for cham- pionships, on the defensive end of the floor. I believe in a man-to-man, hard-nosed, in your face, 40 minutes full-court selectively, when you can, (defense). I want to create a lot of our offense off of our defense. We'll play an up-tempo style that's fun and exciting for the team to play, fun and exciting for the fans to watch, but it's not helter-skelter." -- Coach Tony Barbee

7 8 Dribble Drive Offense

"It’s a system where you get five guys on the floor at any one time using their tal- ents individually for the collective unit of the team. It’s that in a nutshell. It’s about spacing. It’s an evolving offense depending on the strengths of your team." -- Coach Tony Barbee 9 In Your Face Defense

10 "When people watch this team play, they're going to see a few things. One, how hard my team competes and how cohesive they are defensively. When my team is good defensively, people say it looks like they've got eight or nine guys on the floor at one time." -- Coach Tony Barbee

11 Be a Part of Something Special

12 "The excitement level is at an all- time high. The expectations to go along with that are very high." -- Coach Tony Barbee

13 Auburn & Coach Tony Barbee:

14 A Brand New Beginning

"War Eagle! It is a great day to be an Auburn Tiger! This unbeliev- able university, the community, the history of this program, and now when you add this arena on top of that has been made. The commitment I make to you is to take this men's basketball program to heights it has never been before. That is my commitment to you. We will play an exciting style of basketball. It will be fun for the fans. It will be entertaining. It will be fun for the players. In my 21 years in , I have been in post- season play 18 of 21 years. And I am madder than heck those three years we missed it." -- Coach Tony Barbee

15 "We are going to have a lot of fun. Now my defini- tion of fun might be different than yours. My definition of fun is about hard work, about teamwork, about unselfish- ness, about loyalty and about family. When people watch my teams play, those are the things I want them to say about my teams. Those are the qualities I want my team to embody. We are going to have a lot of fun doing it. It is going to take a lot of hard work, but I have never been afraid of working hard." -- Coach Tony Barbee
